I very rarely cold call. The limper and preflop raiser were such donks along with super-loose blinds so I decided to play along.

why bet the flop? you've not got any hope of knocking them all out, you have no good draw....your getting your money in when u have the worst of it.

i dont like the way uve played this at all...

fwiw, i was folding to ANY aggression. i bet to limit the field, represent the scare cards, and to fold a bigger ace.

i'm just giving my reasoning. you really think they have a queen?

i think the bet achieves nothing and would only achieve something if u bet the turn again.....(which would be a poor move)

i still dont like coldcall given the reads
flop bet sucks
just call river nothing ur beating will call ur river raise IMO

A- these are not reads, these are numbers. Boo

B- If you want to play this hand, just 3-bet. The flop bet is pointless.

Don't raise the river. We're splitting the pot with a weaker ace, and we might be beat by an AJ+ or trip queens that missed a c/r on the turn. There is not much we're ahead of, I can't see a T all of a sudden wanting to bet the river when an ace falls, and similarly with any underpairs. If it's a cold-bluff he won't call our raise anyways.
